Crooked River State Park

Crooked River State Park is a 500-acre (2.0 km2) Georgia state park located near St. Marys on the south bank of the Crooked River in Camden County. The park is operated by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources and preserves coastal forest and salt marsh habitat while providing environmental education programs. Nearby are the ruins of the McIntosh Sugarworks, a tabby mill built around 1825 that was later used to produce starch during the American Civil War; the sugarworks were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 (NRHP reference no. 92000167). The park is a short drive from St. Marys, the mainland gateway to Cumberland Island National Seashore, and is adjacent to Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay.
